Yeah, it connects, but then you know, you, you, you are either watching TV or you're using a computer and all of a sudden it starts buffering, you know, and then the lost a signal and I got to reconnect it and then it'll last either whole day or a few hours and then it falls off again and it's constantly doing this. And I want to see if I could fix this one before I order another one. I want to make sure that this thing's unfixable.
05:00
Speaker 2
One solid lights. Right. So the internet light is solid white, right? Oh, okay. Yeah, it seems to be already connected to the Internet if that is the case. Um, [silence] Right. Yeah, we can probably troubleshoot your router and see what is really going on. And
06:00
Speaker 1
No. I don't want to if I'm going to spend money. I'm just going to go to replace it. Give it another shot, um, to see if I can get this thing. I don't know if it's a software issue or the unit itself is bad. How can I get I know? Well, you I got to pay, but how can you get it to upgrade? Is there a new software for it? How can I get it to upgrade if there's anything I can do for it? Can you give me that information?
07:00
Speaker 2
Hopefully, we would be able to find the resolution why you are experiencing internet intermittent connection on this router but based on our records, um this router is already out of its hardware warranty, which means that it is no longer entitled for our free technical support. However, we can still provide troubleshooting. We can still troubleshoot it for 15.
07:00
Speaker 1
Hey if it can't it's no support part. Well, it's not new. It's on yeah, it's on Amazon. It says refurbished. Yeah. Okay. That's why they're cheap. Because I it just went here. It wasn't cheap. But the one they got on Amazon right now refurbished is like 100 buff.
09:00
Speaker 2
Yes. Unfortunately, there is support. We can still provide you technical support if you purchase a new one. If you plan to purchase the same model... Right. Yes. Refurbished, meaning it is remanufactured and considered to be brand new. However, since it has reached its end of life, even if you purchase this brand new, you know that it is proven defective as well and there will be no replacement that can be offered as well as there will be no other firmware updates available on this particular unit. Okay. Oh.
09:00
Speaker 1
And I think I paid close to 300 or two something for this one, 250 or 260 or something like that when it was new. What model do you recommend to replace this thing? A new model number or or a 1600? Are you? 1600.
10:00
Speaker 2
Okay, okay. Yeah, I uh just Check. OK. Right. Okay. Right. OK. Yeah, so, uh we w go ahead. Yeah, our new router right now is already a mesh router. We do not have any router similar to yours. Uh our latest model is L. N. 1600. This is um for the existing one which. Now, it's L for links for Linksys and N for Nancy, 1600.
